“The Providence Housing Authority projects are the worst places to live: People shout and blast music from their homes or vehicles, as if they live alone. They think they’re bringing joy to others, but in reality, we suffer from hearing loss, anxiety, high blood pressure, and nervousness. We’re alone; no one helps us anymore. Authorities listen to us as if they’re fed up with our complaints, and we’re suffering from harassment, threats, and emotional and physical health problems. [The Noise Project is] our last hope to mitigate or eliminate this noise problem.”
— Resident of Providence Public Housing Authority at Hartford Park on Bodell Avenue
